PART B - (4 X 10 40 Marks) : Answer The Following

Principal waves are electromagnetic waves that can propagate between parallel conducting planes. There are two main types - transverse electric (TE) waves and transverse magnetic (TM) waves. Their characteristics include: - TE waves have electric field vectors perpendicular to the plane surfaces and magnetic field vectors parallel. TM waves have magnetic field vectors perpendicular and electric field vectors parallel. - Both waves can propagate in the region between the planes, with their velocities and attenuation dependent on the separation distance between the planes and the material properties in between. Cut-off frequencies exist below which waves cannot propagate. - Wave impedances can be derived relating the electric and magnetic field strengths. Phase and group velocities are dependent on frequency and material properties. Dominant
